Nine students will travel to china for training on Chinese culture, language and innovative ICT technologies and interaction with top IT specialists at the Huawei University.
This is as a result of a partnership by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and with Huawei Technologies.
It’s an internship program called “Huawei Seeds for the Future”. Following completion of the program, the students will be awarded certificates in addition to professional mentorship acquired in China.
The program aims to further technical knowledge transfer through interactions with Huawei staff, laboratory visits for hands-on experience and to witness live demonstrations of the latest ICT technologies globally.
“Kenya is already a leader in ICT on the continent and we want to ensure that we maintain this leadership and also grow the momentum internationally. This programme is a reflection of not only our focus on developing local skills but on the government’s commitment in working with the private sector,” ICT Authority Acting CEO Victor Kyalo said.
“Huawei is committed to developing ICT talent in Africa and beyond by collaborating with local governments, higher education institutions and other organisations for students to study and experience future technologies at the firm’s headquarters in China, CEO Huawei Technologies Kenya, Dean Yu says.
